How Does a Hydraulic Motor Function in a System?

AI Thread Summary
A hydraulic motor functions by using pressurized fluid to push against vanes attached to a shaft, causing it to rotate. The fluid is then drained back to the pump, which is essentially a reversed hydraulic motor that generates pressure by turning a shaft with vanes. Solenoid valves control the flow of this pressurized fluid into the motor, enabling precise movement. The discussion highlights the relationship between hydraulic motors, pumps, and valves, emphasizing their roles in converting hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. Understanding these components is crucial for applications like cranes and spreaders in port operations.

Hey Respected seniors,
I want to know that how the hydraulic motor works?
Im working as a trainee engineer in a company..
I watch daily a machine that have hydraulic motor, pump, solenoid valve...
All these things are for the movement of a shaft which is connected to a jack( I see, there are two cables/nozzles for pump pressures attached with that jack..). ..

PLZ simply tell me how the hydraulic motor, pump, solenoid valve work together?

thanx & best regards

Hydraulic motors are basically water wheels. A fluid under pressure pushes against vanes attached to a shaft and makes the shaft turn. After doing a little pushing the fluid is drained from the motor and returned to the pump that pressurized it. The pump itself is just a reversed version of the motor -- something turns a shaft that has vanes which pushes fluid out of a port under pressure.

There should be some good diagrams of these things on wiki or google someplace if you poke around a bit.

Beating the analogy a little further, this is pretty much how an electric motor or generator works as well...see the Hydraulic Analogy.

thanx alot...
 
Actually the machine that I discussed is a SPREADER which is used with CRANES(ship to shore,sts, and rubber tyre gentry,RTG)..
So If anybody is working at PORT then I request him, please tell me in detail,thanx

The specific application is pretty much irrelevant, except perhaps as regards scale. The pump (vane or lobe type), under the influence of a drive motor, supplies pressurized oil to the motor (which is just a pump fed from the other end). The valve, whether electrical or mechanical, controls the flow of oil into the motor. I don't quite understand the particular matching of a motor with a cylinder (which you called a jack) in this instance.
 
how a hydraulic motor works

The hydraulic motor is the component of a Hydraulic System that convert hydraulic Energy from the hydraulic system into mechanical rotational Energy by rotating the shaft.

This is a good explanation of the subject.

Take a look at this video:

I hope this is what you are looking for.

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
